Redescription of Echinuria hypognatha Wehr, 1937 (Nematoda; Acuariidae) including ecology and new hosts
Abstract Reports on the presence of Echinuria hypognatha Wehr, 1937 in Europe have so far provided only general information, and therefore we present further morphometric and ecological characteristics of this parasite. In this study, the examined nematodes were isolated from the digestive tract of...
